[ANSWER PREVIEW]
The presented data reveals meaningful improvement in various aspects of nurse satisfaction as an outcome of the handover process and, therefore, it is safe to say that it has been effective in ameliorating the quality of care. After implementation of the tool, nurses admitted that they were more satisfied with the between shift nurse-to-nurse report Clinical Handover Process.
According to Raeisi, Rarani and Soltani (2019), the handover of shift reports becomes better with technical communication. The handover tool promoted electronic transmission of patient information and all particulars about their conditions. During the handover process, some information may be written but not transferred to the next nurse probably because the notes are misplaced, among other challenges.
This may have formed a major part of the nurses’ frustration with reporting pre-implementation of the handover tool. There is equally less interruption (in the context of distraction) while making handover reports and the completeness of the reports has improved. A review of four studies disclosed that the implementation of electronic handover tools considerably enhanced the completeness of handover (Delardes et al. 2020).
A handover tool featuring electronic patient records (EPR) revolutionises information management and boosts communication (Meum et al. 2011). The EPR would, in this context, improve the capturing of clients’ details, hence making …[Buy Full Answer for Just USD 9: 2081 WORDS]
